"Yay~ I was just passing by, ya hahaha..."
Milim rubbed her head and returned to her seat as if nothing had happened.
Guy Crimson's mouth twitched when he saw this.
Your acting is too fake.
"Since everyone is here, let's begin."
Guy Crimson cleared his throat to ease the awkward atmosphere.
"Tch!"
Clayman sat down in his seat with an unhappy expression, completely unaware of the severity of the situation.
Susu also snorted and sat in Ramiris's seat.
She thought to herself that she must complain to her master later; she was angry!
Ramiris didn't say anything and laid on the table, reading manga.
At this time, according to custom, Raine stood up to begin the announcements.
"I will now introduce the parties to the meeting."
"Demon race, Dark Emperor, Lord Guy Crimson."
"Fairy, Labyrinth Fairy, Lady Ramiris."
"Dragon Majin, destroyer, Lady Milim Nava."
"Giant Race, Earth's Wrath, Lord Dagruel."
"Vampire race, Blood Dominator, Lord Roy Valentine."
"Fallen Angel race, Sleeper Ruler, Lord Dino."
"Winged Race, Sky Queen, Lady Frey."
"Beast race, Lion King, Lord Carrion."
"Deathman, Puppet Master, Lord Clayman."
"Human-Demon race, Platinum Sword King, Lord Leon Cromwell."
"And, Slime, Alliance Leader of the Jura Tempest Federation, Lord Rimuru Tempest."
"That is all..."
After speaking, Raine stepped back.
This banquet was initiated by Clayman, and at this moment, he placed the Nine-Headed Beast on the conference table and stood up.
"Thank you all for responding to my invitation, so let us begin, the banquet that belongs to us."
"I hereby declare the Walpurgis, Walpurgis, officially open."
The scene was silent.
Those who were sleeping were sleeping, those reading manga were reading manga, those drinking tea were drinking tea, and those eating lollipops were eating lollipops.
Only Rimuru was staring at Clayman with unkind eyes.
Not feeling awkward at all, Clayman continued to speak on his own.
It was a rather boring and long speech, just like a leader's speech, nothing but nonsense.
Only the final summary was the core.
In short, it was roughly that Rimuru's Jura Tempest Federation was the culprit behind the rebellion launched by the Farmus Kingdom.
Not only that, but it also caused a great war between monsters and humans.
Even the Western Holy Church was involved, leading to the outbreak of the Holy War.
Finally, Rimuru even called himself a Demon Lord to the outside world, which was seen as a provocation to the Demon Lords.
He babbled a lot, and he could even produce all kinds of evidence.
"This is simply a provocation to the dignity of being a Demon Lord, and he also used vicious spells to take away my lovely subordinate, Mjurran."
Clayman accused him with tears in his eyes.
Everyone was silent.
Mjurran, who came with Rimuru, frowned upon hearing this, a trace of anger on her face.
This acting is truly amazing, I'm almost moved to death.
He even talked about the three hundred years of friendship with his subordinate, and so on.
Rimuru kept complaining in his heart, full of contempt.
"So, everyone should understand now."
Clayman pointed at Rimuru righteously.
"This despicable demon named Rimuru is just an arrogant person who claims to be a Demon Lord."
"I think such a person must be purged."
"That concludes my statement."
After speaking, Clayman performed an aristocratic salute in a pretentious manner, and then returned to his seat.
Everyone said nothing, perhaps they were all holding back laughter.
Raine stood out again, expressionless, like a judge in a werewolf game, and said.
"Next, please invite the guests to speak."
Rimuru stood up. Although the height was about the same as when sitting, it was more imposing.
He said coldly.
"Clayman, is it."
"I can tell, you are a liar."
"Nani?"
Clayman frowned slightly.
"I'm not interested in being a Demon Lord, and the Farmus Kingdom was blinded by greed, and they were the ones who attacked our country first."
Clayman sneered, "Heh, who would believe such an excuse."
Rimuru calmly took out the recording stone, which contained images of the monsters of the Jura Tempest Federation being cruelly slaughtered, as well as the confession of King Edmar.
Seeing the situation in the image, everyone immediately understood.
Clearly, the Jura Tempest Federation was the real victim.
Not only that, but Milim, Carrion, and Frey frowned when they saw the images of familiar people being cruelly abused and killed by the Farmus army.
"This is called evidence, Clayman." Rimuru mocked.
"This, this is all fake, I don't believe it."
Clayman gritted his teeth and slapped the table, glaring at Rimuru angrily.
"To think you would use magic to fabricate images to deceive us, who would believe such low-level means."
As he spoke, Clayman scanned the Demon Lords present.
Um...
The Demon Lords all remained silent, silently watching the drama.
"Not only that, your base camp seems to be about to be taken by someone."
Rimuru showed a strange smile.
"What are you talking about."
Clayman was a little exasperated, did not pay attention to this sentence, but was a little excited.
"Everyone, he arbitrarily unsealed Veldora, killed 150,000 people in the Farmus Kingdom, and triggered a more serious Holy War."
"Now he is pretending to be a victim here to win sympathy."
"Such a high-sounding person actually claims to be a Demon Lord, it simply lowers the grade of our Demon Lords..."
Just as he was babbling, the Giant Race, Dagruel, stopped Clayman's barking.
"Hey, Clayman!"
"What!"
"Did you just say that Rimuru was the culprit behind the rebellion in the Farmus Kingdom?"
Dagruel analyzed calmly, "Assuming this is true, why would he want to incite rebellion and place his own country in opposition to the Western Nations?"
"This kind of meaningless thing doesn't seem to make logical sense."
I didn't expect someone in the venue to be listening carefully.
"And he is a sensible person, too."
Clayman was momentarily flustered by Dagruel's question.
""Th-this, this...""
""...Well, okay, I will explain.""
Clayman thought quickly on his feet and started making up a story on the spot.
""It must be that this Slime discovered the secret of the Demon Lord Species and wanted to uncover the truth in the human world, so he took it upon himself to incite a war to seize the opportunity to obtain what he wanted.""
""That's right! That's exactly it!""
""No! It must be like this!""
""Such a guy must be purged!""
""Bang!""
Clayman slammed both hands onto the table, startling Ramiris, who was reading manga.
For some reason, Clayman felt this story was a bit familiar.
Oh~ right, aren't these all things I did before?
Never mind, I'll just pin the blame on him first.
